We wanted to take the opportunity to introduce the 2021-2022 Exec Board. First off is our President, Rachel Allgood. Rachel is a 3L who graduated from Arkansas State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Sport Management and a minor in General Business. Here's what Rachel had to say about her goals and plans for the upcoming year:

"My career goals are to end up working in the sports and entertainment world in some capacity. I also have an interest in IP law - especially copyright and trademark. Whether working for a sports brand, team, or entertainment clients, I see myself being very involved in a high-paced job. Having been involved in collegiate sports, I'm interested in seeing the behind-the-scenes of professional sports and entertainment business.

This year, I'm looking forward to interacting with the community and being back on campus to interact with members. We have a lot to look forward to, and I'm super excited to see our current and new members this year."

We're excited to see all the great things she'll accomplish as President!

Congratulations to our newly elected officers🎉

Huge thank you to our ‘20-‘21 officers for all they were able to accomplish during this unprecedented year.
